Hallway bathroom. Simple clean materials

The Carrara marble windowsill ledge creates design touch in the quaint guest bathroom.

Both the master bath and the guest bath were in dire need of a remodel. The guest bath was a much simpler project, basically replacing what was there in the same location with upgraded cabinets, tile, fittings fixtures and lighting. The most dramatic feature is the patterned floor tile and the navy blue painted ship lap wall behind the vanity. The master was another project. First, we enlarged the bathroom and an adjacent closet by straightening out the walls across the entire length of the bedroom. This gave us the space to create a lovely bathroom complete with a double bowl sink, medicine cabinet, wash let toilet and a beautiful shower.

What is the secret to a beautiful bath in 2020? A comforting warm room with natural light and a simple serene setting. Add inspiring colors that suggest a feeling of nature and wellness. This serene bath was designed by Jackie Friberg along with the talented homeowner. The inspiration was to provide a tranquil and relaxing retreat to unwind in after a busy day. The classics are always calming elements which provide a level of simplicity along with the dark navy wallpaper for energy and brightness.

A large portion of the cost associated with the material costs of this project, the large semi-frosted glass door brings balance to the space, creating a level of intimacy and privacy to the interior of the walk-in shower, while keeping the overall space inviting and open. Certainly worth the cost.

We love this bathroom remodel! While it looks simple at first glance, the design and functionality meld perfectly. The open bathtub/shower combo entice a spa-like setting. Color choices and tile patterns also create a calming effect.
